OUR MISSION

The mission of the USA Triathlon Foundation is to support and promote
triathlon, and open pathways to triathlon to those whom it might not otherwise
be possible. The Foundation focuses on three key areas (youth, paratriathletes, and Olympic hopefuls) to provide the opportunities for every child to
participate, every paratriathlete to compete, and every young athlete to
chase his or her Olympic dream.

FEATURED STORY: PILLARS FOR PROMISE

The benefits of youth sports are tremendous: they build comradery, establish healthy lifestyles, and boost a child’s overall self-esteem. Some children never have the opportunity to participate in organized activity, and that is exactly why the USA Triathlon Foundation stepped in to support Pillars For Promise in 2017.

GRANT PROGRAM

The USA Triathlon Foundation will accept grant applications from individuals and organizations that support and promote multisport and open pathways to multisport to those for whom it might not otherwise be possible. The grant must be for a program related to at least one of the Foundation’s three (3) focus areas; providing support to youth, paratriathletes, and/or Olympic hopefuls.

MAKE A DONATION

Your generous gifts to the USA Triathlon Foundation will be used to help a range of athletes achieve competitive excellence by creating opportunities that otherwise may not exist. Your financial support will instill a lifetime of fitness in young athletes, open the doors of participation to aspiring paratriathletes, and fuel the Olympic dreams of America’s rising stars. With your help, we can make their dreams a reality!

GRANT RECIPIENT TESTIMONIALS

“My son had such a good time participating here in his first triathlon. He was smiling at various points along the way and was very proud of himself after he finished. He wants to know when he can try another triathlon challenge!”

Kids Who Tri Succeed

"I feel whole again because I can swim, handcycle, and push a chair for triathlon! I was never an athlete!"

OC Para Tri Camp

"I’ll be honest, Dare2Tri has been one of my favorite parts of my summer. Although [Kids Camp] left me sore, I thoroughly enjoyed it. And it’s another thing that I can cross off my bucket list!"
